Vowel-centric Syllabification

Each vowel sound (including nasal vowels) forms the nucleus of a syllable. Syllables are built around vowel sounds.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally kept together unless they can be naturally separated by a vowel sound. 'rt' remains together.

Final Syllable Stress

French generally stresses the final syllable of a word, although the stress is less prominent than in English.

  • The 'rt' cluster is a potential point of division, but remains within 'ter' due to pronunciation.
  • Nasal vowels require careful consideration in syllabification.
  • Liaison possibilities are not considered in the core syllabification, as this analysis focuses on the isolated word.
